Hello!
I have been assigned for the first time an adp Access project and so
far I have managed to make the changes needed for some requirements.
However, I am struggling to find the place where the application
changes the color of the background of a textbox. Here the explanation
goes:
This is a form bound to an SQL view. The detail section has several
fields, one of them being a textbox of name "Type". I checked its
properties and the color for the background (Back Color property in
the Format tab) is 16777215 (white). When the form is loaded the
background color changes to yellow when the value of "Type" is "W"
(and the font even changes to Bold!!). I am sure the previous
programmer had a reason for that but I have searched the string "Type"
in the whole project and I could not find any place where this
property was modified by code.
Does anybody have an idea where I can look for the specific place
where the application makes changes in the properties of the textbox
when it loads its value? All hints will be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Jose R. Castro

Look at the OnCurrent event of the form.

As mentioned, it could be in the OnCurrent event of the form. It could also
be in the AfterUpdate event of the control and a couple of other places. The
first place I'd look though would be in Conditional Formatting. Open the
form in design mode, right click the control, and choose Conditional
Formatting...

Wayne, thanks for your help. Conditional formatting was used to make
this change at runtime.

I have windows form with the few TextBox controls.
Under certain conditions I disable or enable this controls by setting Enable
property to true or false: For example:
this.m_txtIP.Enabled = false ;
The controller become disabled, and I can't enter any data. The problem is
that the background color of the TextBox doesn't change whether it is enabled
or disabled.
It always looks like enabled.

I have a screen that is displaying an asp:textbox that has about 20 lines of

This displays fine as a multiline textbox. It doesn't as a Label. It jams

Is there a way to display the data like a textbox, but not look like a text

I've only recently got started using VB.net Compact Framework, and I'm
struggling to create a read-only Textbox with a white background.
Even though I can set the background colour of a textbox, as soon as I set
the control to read-only it turns the background grey. Unfortunately I
can't set the enabled property to false as sometimes I need the scrollbars
to work on the Textbox. I did think about using a label instead of a

How can I change the background color of a textbox when it gets the focus?
I can handle the "Enter" event and do this
private void txtDummie_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e) {
txtDummie.BackColor=Color.Red;

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
